Tony is the ABSOLUTE BEST. There are so many reasons for this. I have had the most incredible…read moreexperience having him renovate my Kitchen/greatroom/Fireplace. He is a pleasure to work with...he's skilled, is on time, professional, experienced, and gives excellent advice if you need. He quoted me 4-5 weeks for this total kitchen gut (including tile down the hallway), and amazingly, this entire job was done in 3 weeks and 1 day. That's literally incredible!!! I have had many renovations over the years, and worked with countless contractors. Tony is a shining star. He IS the exception. His crew are very hard workers, trustworthy, skilled, efficient, friendly and work seamlessly together like a well-oiled machine. This is a testament to the way Tony works. The details: he includes in the cost professional design services and renderings of the job before you begin. His costs include everything.... Cabinets, Flooring incl Tile, Countertops, Backsplash, Sink, Faucet, Door Handles. It's so simple. So Simple...and the best way to work. You pick your tile, cabinets, countertops, etc. What makes Tony magic is that he ensures all your choices are in stock and ordered ASAP so the job doesn't not have a moment off for even 1 hour. His crew works tirelessly until the job is done, including Saturdays. Most impressively, Tony is always checking on site. He calls to make sure everything is going well and checks in to be sure you're happy. His impeccable reputation is what results from this attention to detail. Lastly, there is no need to worry about mess. He makes sure everything is very well taken care of before, during, and after the job. His crew protected all my things with perfection, plastic sheeting was secure and safeguarded my home from dust, floors were protected with special contractor paper, all efforts were made to make sure all my things were covered, protected, clean and safe. There is no choice out there. Its HIBT (Home Improvement by Tony) only!! Please take a look at my before and after photos. Its truly incredible. This was done in 3 weeks and 1 day. I love my new space. Thanks to Tony I have the great room of my dreams.

Tony is the absolute Gold Standard when it comes to contractors. Where do I start? First of all…read morehe is the nicest person. His work is impeccable! He does not use subcontractors. He is completely on top of every detail of the project. We have never had a more responsive contractor. I can text him anytime and he immediately gets back to me. He sends photos of everything. For instance, he did our roof and it turned out the plywood under the shingles were not the right thickness and incredibly damaged. So, instead of having to take his word for it, as is the case with most contractors, he sent videos of what was up there so that I could decide what to do accordingly. There is no scope of work that he can't take on. For us, he renovated our family room, redid a bathroom, renovated a basement room, tiled our entry way, completely renovated a sunroom that had major water damage and mold, and gave us an new roof. And, he did all of that in 4 weeks, which is crazy fast! Tony can do anything! And I trust him completely because he is so conscientious, honest, and always does things the right way (absolutely no cutting corners). I can't speak highly enough of him. We are so happy to have met him! I already have many future projects in mind for him.

Anthony and his crew did a great job with the work, but once they're done they're not coming back…read more The one time he spoke to us, he had split one supply vent into two and claimed to not know that it would result in poor airflow to the two rooms. When asked about it, his suggestion was to just get an additional space heater. When something was installed improperly, he has just gone to the cold shoulder. Garbage can drawer won't close due to poor installation (as per the cabinet manufacturer) and he won't return a call or a text to fix it. The water in the newly installed shower needed work. He wouldn't return a call or text for that. We had to call the plumbers ourselves. This score is a result of the professional people he subs work out to. His work ends up looking amazing, but he's unwilling to stand by it.

We used A. Valle Construction for two projects in our house. Anthony's attention to detail, and…read moreprecision craftsmanship sets him apart from other contractors we've worked with. A. Valle Construction brought our vision to life twice, once in our bathroom remodel and then again in our kitchen renovation & extension. Both makeovers required complex alterations to our 90 year old historic Craftsman colonial and Anthony was able to integrate all the changes into our home matching the overall look, feel and quality of old world construction. Anthony is always on-time, respectful, cost conscious, and knowledgeable. His project and time management skills are impeccable - when he promises to bring something in on-time, you can rest assured it will get done, without cutting corners or reducing quality. If you want the best, and you have the highest expectations, Anthony and his crew will never let you down. He is a patient, smart, caring businessman with outstanding vision, excellent communication skills and is quite capable of delivering on his commitments. The greatest compliment we can give A. Valle Construction is our unqualified recommendation.

We got quotes from 3 contractors in town (Metuchen), who are all very reputable and excellent…read morechoices: La Porta, ASAP, and Ideal CDR. They all came in around the same amount, but had a lot of different takes on what to do specifically and what kind of choices to make. We liked them all, so none of this is a knock on ASAP or La Porta, as friends of ours have done large projects with them and were very happy. But we felt Al was the best guy for us, so we went with Ideal. This was a pretty big project with a diversity of things to juggle: finishing the basement, building a multi-story addition, demolition, excavation, foundation/masonry, framing, siding, windows, drywall, painting, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, insulation (including spray foam insulation), stonework for porch and walkway and retaining wall, custom cabinet design for multiple rooms incl closets, hot tub crane-lifted to a custom rigging to get it onto a 2nd story balcony, new kitchen appliances and massive exhaust hood, gutters... pretty much everything except the landscaping. The before/after pics in this review don't do it justice. Through all the bajillion decisions and details and tradeoffs and nuances that came up, Al and Sunitha were really terrific to work with and help with deciding on the right course of action for us. This should work well for you if you are good and quick at making decisions. The head of the company, Al, was very easy to get ahold of during the project. We had weekly meetings, but on top of that, he'd often drop by the site (we lived in the house thru the remodel) and was very available to discuss and steer the project. Sunitha's guidance on navigating through the details and complexities of cabinet design and other operational details was fantastic. So, we definitely got very engaged with Al and Sunitha and others during this project and got to know them well. My maximum respect goes out to Al, Sunitha, Julio, Rich, Luis, Chris, Heladio, Andrew, Joe, and many others I'm forgetting to mention, as well as to all the subcontractors, who were numerous. Despite issues that inevitably arise in a project of such complexity, 99.9% of the work was completed within the 5.5 months that all the contractors (not just Ideal) estimated. If you want to get into more details, feel free to drop by for a tour at 117 Beacon Hill Dr in Metuchen. Just ask for Andrew.

Griffith Painters transformed our new home. Truly exceptional…read more We recently hired Griffith Painters to remodel three rooms in our new home, and I can honestly say they exceeded every expectation we had. Professional, clean, efficient, friendly, respectful -- this team is the gold standard. From start to finish, their attention to detail was unmatched. Jay even came onsite personally to check in on the progress (which we really appreciated). Every single person on the team was, sweet, respectful and meticulous. Special shout-out to Roy, Elvis, Marvin, and Carlos for their incredible craftsmanship. Our project list was not small: * Dining Room Transformation (the showstopper): They installed crown molding, wainscoting, and shadow boxes, and the transformation is unreal. The room looks elevated, custom, warm, and straight out of a design magazine. It changed the entire vibe of the space. * Entryway: Repaired and Refreshed: The previous owners had a security system wired into the walls, and we had to cover up several holes as a result. Griffith patched everything flawlessly and gave it a fresh new coat of paint. * Primary Bedroom Glow-Up: They added crown molding in our primary bedroom as well and repainted the entire room. The transformation is truly incredible - the space now feels like a calming, spa-like retreat. The whole vibe shifted from "fine" to "luxurious sanctuary." They even transformed our hideous closet into something beautiful and welcoming. The kicker? They completed ALL of this work in just three days. We're convinced they are the SWAT team of painting and carpentry - precise, fast, skilled, and crisp. We are completely satisfied and so grateful for their work. Griffith truly upgraded our home, and we'll 10000% be hiring them again for future projects. We could not recommend them more. Thank you, Griffith Painting!!
